Sunday There are Two Ride Options.
1 - 7:00 AM Open Road Ride
2 - 8:00 AM Traditional Lodge Ride

Currently there are two ride options on Sunday for the BFSC Sunday riders until the end of September. Several of the regular Sunday riders have joined the Open Road bike store ride for a little faster steady pace and longer distance ride. So for the short term there will be an inconsistent number of riders showing up for the 8:00 Lodge ride.  So based on the ride description listed below select the ride that best fits your fitness level.

Sunday - 8:00 AM Road Ride Leaving from the Lodge – 40 - 60 miles
  • Group Ride - Ride Pace = 19 – 22 MPH.
Remember this is a GROUP ride. 
  • This means a NO drop Ride and we all stop for Flats/Mechanical issues.
We will regroup when necessary for those losing contact with the group.
We have been trying to keep everyone together back to the Palm Valley Bridge,
 so that everyone finishes the ride together.

Sunday - 7:00 AM Road Ride Leaving from the Open Road bike Store parking lot.
  • This is a fast steady pace with 1 to 2 stops.
  • This group will not wait on slower riders or flats/mechanical issues
  • Ride Distance - 80 miles
  • Group Ride Pace = 20 - 22 MPH with with some 23/24 MPH continues pace
